Chapter 170 Would you like to make a bet?
In the last three games, there were two draws and one loss.
Leicester City are indeed in trouble.
Not only did the game go smoothly, but the team was also in trouble.
Mahrez received a red card in the Europa League and was unable to play in the first game.
Vardy has been out for about a month due to injury, and Leicester City is missing a sharp knife.
And the competition has been intensive recently.
Faced with such a situation, Leicester City can expect outstanding performance from the substitute players.
On October 29, Leicester City visited Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
That's the League Cup quarter-finals.
Nor is it a mismatch between the top two in the Premier League.
So far that season, Leicester City is still ranked first in the Premier League.
With seven wins and two draws in nine league rounds, the team has accumulated 23 points and remains at the top of the list.
Although Leicester City suddenly emerged and appeared to be outstanding, Chelsea also performed very well.
Since the start of the league, we have six wins, two draws and one loss in nine rounds, with 20 points, ranking second.
That season Mourinho's team ushered in an explosion.
Known as the "Second Year of Mourinho", countless people are looking forward to Chelsea this season.
"Do we know anything about 'Mu's second year'?"
On the bus bound for Stamford Bridge Stadium, James chatted with everyone enthusiastically.
“Is Mourinho really an awesome coach?
“The teams he coached before all won very impressive championship honors.
"And there is a pattern,
"Gather strength in the first year,
"The second year we had an explosion, and we won many championships.
“By the third year, various problems began to arise.
"It's a pity that they met Chelsea in the second year of Mourinho.
"Chelsea were doing pretty well that season,
"After them,
"Awesome!"
Listening to James scratching his head behind him, Shakespeare in the front row laughed.
"Nigel, let me hear it, their players all have the potential to be coaches."
Pearson also smiled: "Those young guys are really good."
"What do I think about that game?"
"It's not easy to kick."
"Can they win?"
"After all, their lineup is not uniform, so if they want to win, they need a little luck."
"No, especially if it's not xia, his performance will largely determine his past performance."
"Winning is a good thing, they can continue to compete. Even if they lose, it doesn't matter. They can focus more on the league and the Europa League, so it's not a bad thing."
"Having said that, he hopes to continue to win. After all, the League Cup and FA Cup are the best stages for them to win..."
Shakespeare was right, it is true.
Pearson didn't put too much pressure on everyone in that game, just let everyone do their best.
But no one is slacking off.
In one game, Leicester City played almost all of their main offensive players and let substitute defenders come on.
That game was just the opposite.
For those substitute players, that game not only represented the team's progress in the League Cup, but also reflected their value.
As long as they perform well, they will have a good chance of returning to the main lineup.
Pearson deployed a 4-4-2 formation in that game, but there was still no change.
The forwards are Chris Wood and Ulloa, with James, Andy King, Albrighton and Xia Xing behind them.
The four defenders still include Dragette, Konchesky, Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel.
It can be seen from that lineup that Leicester City will firmly dominate tomorrow.
And Chelsea will not have a full lineup tomorrow.
Hazard, Fabregas, Matic and other players all got the chance to rest.
Young Willian, Mikel, Salah and other players started the game and played the leading role.
The 4-2-3-1 formation remains unchanged.
On the sidelines of the court, Mourinho is still looking heroic.
Seeing Xia Xing, Mourinho greeted him warmly.
"Xia! Welcome to Stamford Bridge!"
"Hello Mourinho, he also likes it there because he always has good memories there."
"He kind of regrets saying hello to me now..."
"Haha, just kidding."
"I'm right, I visited Stamford Bridge twice and won both times, which is very good."
"The Lord prays that the team will perform well."
"Okay, I'm quite humble. In that game, half of Leicester City's substitute team came on. We wanted to win, but we had no chance."
"No? He thought all his teammates were great and they could win that game."
"Would you like to make a bet?"
"What to bet on? Winning or losing that game?"
"That's right! If I'm likely to win there tomorrow, he'll give me a bottle of wine from his collection."
"Sounds good."
"If he wins, how about I treat him to a big dinner when he goes to Leicester City?"
"no problem!"
The two high-fived and Xia Xing ran on the court.
James was always in a good mood. He jokingly asked: "Xia, it seems that I have a good chance of joining Chelsea."
Xia Xing curled his lips and said: "Forget it, that guy Drinkwater is more fond of Chelsea. Please tell me if he would be more suitable to join Chelsea."
Drinkwater: "When he helps Leicester City win the Premier League championship, he will consider playing for Chelsea!"
De Laet: "Yes, if I say that, I will retire at Leicester City."
Drinkwater: "They will definitely win the Premier League championship one day, he is confident!"
De Laet: "Well, let's see..."
Drinkwater: "What an attitude!"
Listening to his teammates' jokes, Xia Xing also smiled.
Not far away, Mourinho was also smiling.
During that time, he had been paying attention to Xia Xing and fell in love with the young man more and more.
Excellent technique, first-class body, smart mind, and great execution ability.
More importantly, he is only 19 years old.
That is definitely a super genius!
Although the whole of Europe knows about Xia Xing's genius, Mourinho knows the value of that young man better than anyone else.
He communicated with Mendes from time to time and asked about Xia Xing's current situation.
As Xia Xing's agent, Mendes has close ties with Xia Xing.
From Mendes' mouth, Mourinho learned some of Xia Xing's personal living habits.
It's like practicing hard as a moralist, and the best thing is cooking at home.
Don't smoke, don't drink, don't go to bars, young people like that are truly treasures!
Compared with talent and skills, Mourinho's character is more ruthless.
That's why he took the initiative to talk to Xia Xing.
On the court, Drogba was warming up and smiled.
Looking back, Mourinho didn't talk to him like that.
Fangdong coach's figure, talking like a friend.
"Didier, if one day he has money, he will definitely buy me!"
Drogba will always remember those words.
Young man, let him see how much talent I have!
